Hemp construction technology "Green Lego" (photo)

Using this technique, for the first time in Canada, a structure was built that is the vanguard of “green technologies” and is considered one of the most sustainable, safe and most efficient construction models offered for implementation in the North American construction market.

A construction technology based on the creation of hemp blocks has been developed and implemented. Despite the fact that this construction technique has several names “Harmless Home”, “House that doesn’t harm” (“La casa che non fa danni”), it is most commonly known as “Green Lego” . A similar kind of name appeared by analogy with the designer “Lego”, from the bricks of which the children collect everything that their imagination can “draw”. Similarly, hemp blocks made from a mixture of fires, water and lime can be used to construct any design that an architect can come up with and can be approved by the customer.

Use in the base Cutting blocks

According to the owner of the first Green Lego building in Canada, Arno Keinonen, “I am extremely pleased with the final result. Cannabis blocks produced in Calgary, retain all the biological properties of hemp raw materials and demonstrate excellent performance of fire resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, and among other things, have excellent antibacterial properties. Cosmetic concrete is a material that breathes, preventing the formation of mold and creating indoors a favorable environment for the functioning of the human body. In addition, "Green Lego" allows you to create buildings with low energy consumption, the so-called "passive houses".

The director of the construction company Michael DeChamplain (Michael DeChamplain) focuses on the fact that the technical hemp during the period of cultivation and during the "green building" absorbs a large amount of hydrocarbons from the environment. One of the main problems of modern construction is the “negative environmental plume” accompanying the entire chain of production, supplies and the process of building a new building itself. In contrast to traditional technologies, the production and construction of catastrophe blocks has a “negative carbon trace.” A residential building on the island of Vancouver was the first project of its kind in Canada. Currently, two more buildings are being built using the technology of "Green Lego". We hope that the use of security blocks will become the standard in the construction industry. The use of “Green Lego” is extremely unpretentious and efficient, so when it is scaled, it will be able to successfully compete with all other construction technologies that are widely spread not only in Canada, but throughout the world.

On the pages of the profile electronic edition of Ukrainian cannabis drivers, the method of using hemp building blocks on the Canadian island of Vancouver has already been described. In spite of this, it makes sense to return to the coverage of this technology in order to “consider” the systematic approach of Canadian construction companies not only to market research and the introduction of new technologies at the objects they build, but also to focus on the fact that the operational characteristics of the facility are constantly monitored in order for new customers to clearly demonstrate the maximum efficiency of investing in this type of hemp property. extensibility. Using this technique, for the first time in Canada, a structure was built that is the vanguard of “green technologies” and is considered one of the most sustainable, safe and most efficient construction models offered for implementation in the North American construction market.
